The family of a victim who died in a high speed police pursuit has sued the Maryland Transportation Authority and some of its officers for their involvement in the incident. According to Baltimore’s CBS affiliate WJZ News 13, MTA authorities were conducting a traffic stop in December 2015 when the suspect refused to pull over on Interstate 95. Officers gave chase for around 14 miles at speeds up to 130 miles per hour, until the suspect crossed into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on into another vehicle. Three women were in that car; the mother died, while her other two daughters survived the impact.
